Hi everyone! Here's the next chappie! Okay, this is another chapter with some stuff that might not be for everybody. Pan will describe what happened while she was gone for the two weeks. Again, personally I don't think I went as graphic as I could have and if I were to read it as someone else's story, I wouldn't find anything wrong with it, but of course it's my story and I have never been raped. But if it is too graphic to be PG-13, let me know by e-mail or a review that you think that the story should go up a rating, and I will change it. So needless to say, this is another dark chapter and beware! Please review when you're done reading! Thanks! ~Lady Branwen~

I don't own Dragonball Z. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Girl of My Dreams Chapter 11 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had no idea that she would look as bad as she does. I think she hid some of the bruises and more gory details from me in the dreams. Who would ever want to hurt my sweet, lovable, Pan? She doesn't deserve to be beaten the way she was.or even at all! She has cuts all over her body, and her body is bruised and swollen from all the beatings these past two weeks. I could barely recognize her when I saw her, her face was swollen and bloody.

Charles, I guess his name is, left her for dead. No one was in the house when we found her. Pan was awake when we found her, barely holding on to life, but as soon as she saw us, she let herself slip into unconsciousness since she knew that we were going to help her. You couldn't mistake the look of relief in her eyes as her eyelids fluttered down to cover them. It was heart wrenching to see her lying there; she wasn't even clothed anymore. The clothes were in shreds. Gohan had found a blanket and wrapped her up in it.

Ever since the day we found her, Gohan has been by her bedside and won't let anyone but Videl come into the room. He's being more protective of her now. I don't blame him, but Pan is getting sick of it. Every once in a while you can hear her yelling at him to get out of her room.

I don't know whether or not it's a good thing that I can feel her feelings. They are so intense. Pan knows that Gohan is trying to protect her and she understands, but she doesn't want any guys to be around her. No one actually. She wants to be left alone. She's stopped talking to me telepathically so now all I have to rely on is our bond to talk to her, though she doesn't answer back.

.There she goes again. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Leave me alone! Get out of my room! I don't want you here!" Pan yelled from her bed.

"No!" Gohan yelled back. "You're my only daughter and I'm not going to lose you again and if that means that I have to watch your every move, then so be it."

Pan sank back into the bed defeated. She turned and lay in a fetal position ready to cry.

"I'm sorry, Pan," Gohan said gently, "But I have to stay here. I'm not leaving." He received no answer. Gohan sighed. "Pan, we need to take some pictures of your injuries. That way we can prove that your so-called 'father' did it. That way we'll definitely get custody of you. If you would rather have your mom take the pictures, then that's fine, I'll look away, but I'm still going to stay in the room. And you're sure that it was Charles that did this to you?"

Pan nodded. "Can mom take the pictures? Do we even have to take the pictures? I mean you can tell I was beaten up just by looking at my face."

"Yes, we have to take the pictures. This custody battle could go on for a long time, Dende forbid, and we need to have proof that your were beaten up."

"Do you have to be in the room?"

Gohan nodded.

"Let's get it over with then."

Videl came in the room, already contacted by Gohan through their bond. "Pan, I'm sorry sweetie, but you're going to have to take off your clothes."

"Can I keep my underwear on?" Pan asked meekly.

"Sure," Videl answered, "We just need to see all the cuts and bruises." Turning to Gohan she said sternly, "You turn around and don't look!"

Gohan turned around and Videl proceeded to take pictures of Pan's many injuries. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Later at 10:00 that night, Gohan lay on the floor where he planned on sleeping for the rest of the week, maybe longer. Pan was in bed reading to try to make herself sleepy.

"Pan?"

"Yeah dad?"

"I want to know what happened to you for the past two weeks."

"I don't want to talk about it. Goodnight." Pan turned the light off and tried to sleep.

Gohan got up and turned the light back on. "You're not getting away with it that easy," he said. "I want to know what went on. I have a right to know Pan, I'm your father. I can help you, or at least beat that guy up."

Pan sat up in bed and folded her hands in her lap. "Why should I tell you? I don't want anyone near me, don't you understand? What happened to me was terrible. I don't want to remember it, I want to forget it. Why should I relive what I went through?"

"I need to know, Pan. Besides, in order for us to get custody of you, you are going to have to tell the court and judge what had happened to you. Not just now, but your whole life. I would like to know now because I love you and want to know what has happened to you. You'll feel better if you tell me."

Pan shifted uncomfortably. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."

"All right," Gohan promised, "But you have to realize that even if I don't say anything everyone else is going to know once we go to court."

Pan shifted on her bed and allowed Gohan to sit next to her. "He raped me over and over," she said quietly. "It hurt so much and he made me bleed. And he had a pipe or something and beat me. Anything that he could find that would hurt me, he hit me with it. Sometimes he even threw water on me so that it would make the pain worse when he hit me. When he left for a while, he would tie me up to the bedposts so that I couldn't get away. He did it in such a way so that my legs were splayed and he could rape me easier when he got back home."

"Oh honey," Gohan said and tried to put his arm around her to hug her.

Pan pushed his arm away. "Don't."

Gohan nodded and folded his hands on his lap.

"He did all the things he has always done," Pan continued, her voice cracking. "Whenever he needed to put out a cigarette, he would push them onto my arms or legs to burn me." Pan hunched over, shaking and buried her face in her hands.

Gohan sat still on the bed, not sure if he should hug her or not. "Can I hug you Pan? What can I do? I want to help you."

Pan leaned over to him and cried into his neck. "Don't let him do that to me again, please Dad."

Gohan put his arms around her and said, "I won't my angel, I won't. He's going to pay for what he did to you. No one will ever be able to do anything to my children and be able to get away with it." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks for reading this chapter, check back soon for the next one. Again, if the part where Pan described what happened is too graphic and you would like me to change the rating, please let me know and I promise that I will up the rating.
